RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Refresher Training course is designed for individuals seeking training and recertification for work in compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations 40 CFR Part 261 and 40 CFR Part 262 under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976 for handling and management of hazardous waste.
The Hazardous Waste Generator Regulations enforced by the EPA ensure the proper identification and safe handling of hazardous waste to safeguard human health and the environment, while minimizing disruptions to regular business activities.
The EPA requires training for personnel engaged in hazardous waste management and handling operations to familiarize them with proper management and emergency procedures for the wastes handled at their facilities. Initial training must be provided to personnel within six months of employment or a change in job position. Retraining must be provided to personnel on an annual basis.
The RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Refresher Training course is suitable for hazardous waste generators; supervisors; owners and operators of treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs); hazardous waste contractors, environmental compliance specialists, and many others.
The core objective of the RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Refresher Training course is to review the pertinent elements of EPA’s Hazardous Waste Generator Regulations to help satisfy the agency’s annual RCRA refresher training requirement for hazardous waste personnel.

After course completion the learner will be able to:
- Understand the purpose of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA);
- Describe EPA’s “cradle to grave” approach to management of hazardous waste;
- Recall the definition of hazardous waste and its characteristics;
- Explain the difference between listed hazardous waste and characteristic hazardous waste;
- Recall the criteria for classification of hazardous waste generators into three different categories;
- Discuss episodic generation and the steps generators must take when they fluctuate between categories;
- Understand the regulatory requirements for hazardous waste transportation, storage, and spill response;
- Give examples of hazardous waste categories that are subject to specialized management standards;
- Explain the general purpose of the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) Program;

- Summarize the pertinent elements of the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rules of 2016 and its implementation over the years.
RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Refresher Training Syllabus
This RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Refresher Training course consists of 2 modules broken down into 9 lessons. Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Refresher Training: Introduction
Module 1: EPA Cradle-to-Grave Program
The first module summarizes the fundamental components of the EPA’s cradle-to-grave program and the measures to comply with the EPA regulations for the management of hazardous waste. Lessons provide an overview of the EPA mission and the numerous environmental laws administered by the EPA. The purpose of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) is explained together with the importance of the uniform hazardous waste manifest system. Lessons will also guide the learner through the definition of hazardous waste and the classification of hazardous waste generators into LQG, SQG, and VSQG; as well as summarize the process by which waste generators can identify whether their waste is hazardous. Lessons also focus on explaining the three different ways facilities can collect and handle their hazardous waste (SAAs, CAAs, and TSDFs) and the regulatory requirements for hazardous waste transporters.
- Lesson 1: Regulatory Overview
- Lesson 2: Hazardous Waste - An Overview
- Lesson 3: Hazardous Waste Generators
- Lesson 4: Hazardous Waste Storage
- Lesson 5: Hazardous Waste Transportation
Module 2: Regulations for Specific Wastes
This module provides information on the procedures for managing spills and emergencies at hazardous waste sites and the specific provisions for handling specific hazardous waste categories. Learners will study and understand the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA); understand the definition of the term “release" as specified under CERCLA, comprehend what is meant by used oil, other wastes, and universal waste; and the general purpose of the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) Program. Information about the equipment that must be maintained by small quantity generators (SQGs) and large quantity generators (LQGs) in case of emergencies and the dangers of mixing and/or storing incompatible wastes is also explained.
- Lesson 6: Managing Spills and Emergencies
- Lesson 7: Regulations for Specific Wastes
- Lesson 8: LDR, Recycling, and Used Oil
- Lesson 9: Universal Waste
